High School Dropout


Why do you think the dropout rate is so high?


                Dropping out of high school is an issue is faced by some teenagers this generation. That’s 7,000 every school day one student drops out every 26 seconds. In my opinion there are many reasons why kids would want to drop out of high school. Students don't know the affects that they are doing to the world like for example when a student drops out, people that pay taxes know as tax payers pay for the people that drop out. So students drop out because they think that that can solve their problem in school and an escape from everything. I have plenty reasons why students drop out, some of  the reasons are….


Parents: so students in high school have abusive parents. They can have some family problems that   accrue during the time period they go to high school , some is because family income, family gets too caught up on the economy problems that they don’t have time to drop their own kids off.


Themselves:
they get bored at school, they don’t care, Students say “why do we learn this if were not even going to use it in the future?” stuff like that make them wonder why they even at school sometimes.  Some say they don’t learn anything and blame the teachers but knowing it’s their fault for not caring. Sometimes the issue at the school is that they missed to many school days and hard to catch up with their school work. Kids mostly think if they want drop out in is if they fail the 9th grade because they are already behind and need to make up the credit. And they don’t think they will graduate in time and end up not trying

Pregnancy /Jobs: some guys get their girlfriend pregnant during while they are at school and thinking of the future. Same goes for the girl if they get pregnant that get caught up with the baby and putting school aside and making that baby their main priorities. A job can make the student dropout because they want to money and only care about money.

Bad Influence: once a student joins a “clique” they might peer pressure on doing bad like ditching, drugs, confronting the teacher, posing as the bad kid around school. A gang can change a student from being a good kid into being a bad kids by making bad decision in their life that can affect them  later in life.

There are many other reasons why students would want to drop and but I would say in my opinion those are the top reasons why kids would like to get rid of school. I would say students don’t know what would happen later in their life like they are limited into some jobs because they didn’t finish. I would say they also probably don’t know that tax payers have to pay taxes for every kid that drops out.
